                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    GENERAL INFORMATION:

I.    The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
      Company  without audit  except the September 30, 1995, balance sheet
      which was  audited by the Company's independent  public accountants.
      The statements  have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations
       of the  Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments,
      consisting  of only  normal recurring accruals, which are, in the
      opinion of  management, necessary for a fair  statement of the results
      of operations  for the periods shown.  These statements do not  include
      all information  required by generally accepted accounting principles to
      be included  in a  full set of financial statements.  These financial
      statements should be  read in  conjunction with the financial statements
      and notes thereto  included in the Company's latest  report on Form
      10-K, dated September 30,  1995.

II.   On September 13, 1995, the common stock of the Company was approved for
      listing on the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market under the trading symbol "RECY".

III.  On December 11, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the
      assets and the business of Anglo Metal, Inc. dba Anglo Iron & Metal
      (Anglo).  The assets acquired from Anglo consisted of a heavy duty
      automotive shredder, inventories, metal shearing equipment, balers,
      heavy equipment, tools and rolling stock used in the business of
      recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals.  The Company also purchased
      from Anglo certain real property, buildings and leasehold improvements
      used in the metal recycling business.

      The purchase price for Anglo was $6,065,000 comprised of:  $2,079,000 in
      cash; $1,865,000  note which is to be paid in ten monthly installments
      of $186,500 beginning in February 1996;  a $446,000 secured promissory
      note payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments of $9,000,
      including interest; a $750,000 unsecured note payable in 72 equal
      consecutive monthly  installments of $10,400; and 227,693 shares of
      Common Stock valued at $925,000.

      Of the cash paid at the closing of the acquisition, $1,800,000 was
      obtained through a sale-leaseback transaction with Ally Capital
      Corporation, collateralized by all of Anglo's machinery and
      equipment, accounts receivable and inventories, which has been recorded
      as a capital lease.

      The terms of the sale-leaseback provide for 60 consecutive monthly lease
      payments of $41,000 with a bargain purchase option at the end of the
      lease term.  The lease contained numerous covenants for maintaining
      certain financial ratios and earnings levels.  The remaining $279,000
      paid at closing was obtained from the operating cash reserves and
      working capital of the Company.

      The Company signed a consulting and non-competition agreement with the
      president of Anglo. The term of the non-compete portion is for six years
      and is valued at $1,000,000 which will be amortized over the term of the
      agreement using the straight line method.  The consulting portion is for
      a term of six months and is payable $5,000 per month.

      RII also entered into a sublease agreement with Anglo for three yard
      facilities for $2,500 a month through December 10, 2005.

      The real property acquired from Anglo and the Common Stock issued by the
      Company have been placed in escrow to provide for the remediation of
      environmental contamination related to the operations of Anglo prior to
      the acquisition.

    Prior to acquiring Anglo, the Company commissioned extensive environmental
    studies on the Anglo sites.  These environmental investigations resulted
    in a determination that certain isolated areas of the facilities may
    contain environmental contaminates.  As a result, the Company established
    an Environmental Escrow to cover the cost of potential clean up of these
    areas.  Additionally, during the Escrow Period, the Company will engage an
    environmental engineer to determine the level of contamination on the real
    property.  The location of any contamination will be identified by a
    survey and the legal description of the real property will be revised to
    provide that the Company will not purchase any contaminated portion of the
    real property.

    If prior to the termination of the Escrow Period, the location of the
    contamination cannot be determined or if the Company determines that there
    is extensive contamination of the real property, all documents held in
    escrow shall be destroyed and the Company shall enter into a lease
    agreement for the real property, which lease shall be retroactive to the
    Closing Date. The lease payments under such lease agreement shall be equal
    to those that would otherwise have been due under the Secured Promissory
    Note.  Due to the escrow agreement, the real property has been recorded as
    an intangible asset, Contract to Acquire Land.

 IV.  In December 1995 and January 1996, the Company borrowed $1,575,000 of
      bridge financing represented by the notes payable - related parties with
      interest at 10% per annum.  Proceeds from the loans were used to finance
      the Anglo acquisition and general corporate expenses.  In January 1996,
      principal of $1,125,000 and accrued interest of $13,000 were converted 
      into 323,523 shares of Common Stock.  In connection with the bridge 
      financing, the lenders were issued warrants to purchase a total of 359,250
      shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share, exercisable through the end of
      a three-year period commencing on the effective date of a registration 
      statement covering the underlying Common Stock.  Principal and interest 
      related to the bridge loans, which were not converted into Common Stock, 
      are due in December, 1996 and January, 1997.  If the Company defaults on 
      repayment of the loans, the notes are convertible to Common Stock at a 
      conversion price of the lesser of $2.00 or 50% of the average closing 
      price for the last 30 days after the default. First Equity Capital 
      Securities, Inc. received a finders fee of $79,000 in connection with the 
      bridge loans.

  V.  On January 31, 1996 and April 8, 1996, the Company completed a Private
      Placement of an aggregate of 1,454,156 shares of Common Stock at $2.75 per
      share and issued warrants to purchase up to 727,078 shares of Common Stock
      at $7.50 per share.  Of the $3,998,934 raised, $1,137,000 was raised
      through the conversion of the bridge financing indebtedness discussed
      above. The remaining $438,000 of principal of the bridge indebtedness plus
      accrued interest will be repaid from the proceeds of the proposed public
      offering, discussed in Note VII below.  The proceeds from these private
      placements were used to complete the acquisition of Mid-America Shredding,
      Inc., discussed in Note VI below and for general working capital purposes.

 VI.  On April 15, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
      (excluding cash and accounts receivable) of Mid-America Shredding, Inc. 
      The assets acquired consist of real property, buildings, a heavy duty
      automotive shredder mill, a wire chopping plant and heavy equipment and
      tools used in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals. 
      The purchase price totaled $1,925,000, settled through the assumption of
      outstanding bank debt of $1,210,000, $660,000 cash paid at closing and
      $55,000 note, payable over eight months.  The purchase price is allocated
      as follows:

            Inventories                                       $   55,000
            Land                                                 310,000
            Building and improvements                            560,000
            Machinery and equipment                            1,000,000
                                                              ----------
                                                              $1,925,000

      at the Bank of America Reference Rate plus 2% except for the over advance
      facility which would be plus 3%.  The agreement would be collateralized
      by a first security interest on all of the Company's assets.  Closing of
      the financing agreement is conditional upon completion of the lender due
      diligence including, among other things, appraisals, documentation and
      certain financial requirements.

XIV. During  the quarter ended March 31, 1996, management determined that the
     net operating losses generated from prior years, in the amount of
     $7,200,000 is more likely than not to be used in the near future due to
     taxable income estimated to be generated by NRI, Anglo and Mid-America. 
     Therefore an additional net deferred tax asset of $441,000 has been
     recorded.  Net operating loss carryovers available for the future through
     the year 2009 are $7,200,000.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                   OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere
herein.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a full-service metals recycler engaged in the collection and
processing of various ferrous and non-ferrous metals for resale to domestic and
foreign steel producers and other metal producers and processors.  Prior to May
1994, the Company was a development stage enterprise engaged in the development
of the technology related to the recycling of municipal solid waste (the "MSW
Technology").

The Company's current operations commenced in May 1994 with the acquisition of
its Nevada metals recycling facility.  Since that time, the Company has
experienced significant growth from the acquisition of other metals recycling
facilities.  On June 30, 1995, the Company acquired a 20% interest in a metals
recycling facility located in Georgia.  On December 11, 1995, the Company
acquired its four southern Texas facilities.  These acquisitions, except for the
20% ownership interest in the Georgia facility, are accounted for under the
purchase method of business combinations and, accordingly, the result of
operations for such acquired businesses are included in the Company's financial
statements only from the applicable date of acquisition.  As a result, the
Company's historical results of operations for the period presented are not
directly comparable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 include the
effects of the acquisition of the Company's southern Texas facilities for the
entire period whereas the March 31, 1995 results reflect only the operations of
the Nevada facility.  The key operating results for each of the three month
periods are summarized as follows:

REVENUES. For the three months ended March 31, 1996, revenues increased $3.6
million, or 97.4%, to $7.3 million from $3.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1995.  The increase in revenues was comprised of a $4.2 million
increase attributable to higher sales volume offset by a $626,000 decrease
attributable to lower average selling prices.  The increase in revenues is
primarily the result of the acquisition of the Company's southern Texas
facilities on December 11, 1995.  The operations of the southern Texas
facilities generated $3.9 million in revenues during the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  Revenues for the Nevada facility declined 8.3% to $3.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $3.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.

Ferrous scrap revenues increased $3.3 million, or 181.1%, to $5.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $1.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.  Total tons shipped increased to 38,300 tons for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from 14,800 tons for the three months ended March
31, 1995.  The average selling price rose approximately $2 per ton to $124 per
ton for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Non-ferrous scrap revenues rose
approximately $612,000, or 40.7%, to $2.1 million reflecting the acquisition of
the southern Texas facilities.  Total shipments for non-ferrous materials
increased to 2.0 million pounds to a total of 4.3 million pounds, which was
partially offset by a decrease in average non-ferrous selling prices from $.65
to $.48 per pound.  Paper sales decreased approximately $280,000, or 72.5%, for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as average sales prices and volumes
declined relative to the comparable period in 1995.

COST OF SALES.  For the three month period ended March 31, 1996, cost of sales
increased $3.0 million to $5.9 million from $2.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, and increased as a percentage of revenues to 81.3% from
77.5%.  This increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increased sales
volume related to the acquisition of the Company's southern Texas facilities. 
Of the increase in cost of sales, approximately $2.8 million was related to the
operations of the southern Texas facilities and $268,000 was related to the
increased volume at the Nevada facility.  The increase in cost of sales as a
percentage of revenue was driven by decreased sales prices without corresponding
decreases in raw materials costs beginning in the quarter ended December 31,
1995.  The Company has adjusted purchase prices for raw material over the course
of the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and believes that future margins will
reflect such changes.  Overall gross profit improved by $536,000 to $1.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $832,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling and administrative expenses
increased to $797,000, or 10.9% of revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1996, from $388,000, or 10.5% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31,
1995.  Of this increase, $314,000 was the result of increased personnel, selling
and overhead costs related to acquired operations and to overhead added in
anticipation of additional growth, as well as an increase in other general and
administrative expenses of $73,000.

BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES.  At March 31, 1996, the Company has recognized a net
deferred tax asset of $1.2 million, as management has determined that the net
operating loss carryforward was more likely than not to be used in the near
future due to the future taxable income to be generated by the Company's
southern Texas facilities.  The net income before income  taxes for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 decreased the net operating loss carryforward by
$470,000 providing approximately $7.2 million of net operating loss carryforward

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were impacted
by a number of factors, including delays in processed scrap shipments and lower
growth margins at the Company's Nevada facility.  In addition, profitability was
negatively affected by transition expenses incurred in conjunction with the
acquisition of its southern Texas facilities on December 11, 1995.

REVENUES.  Revenues increased $3.7 million, or 51.2%, to $10.8 million for 
the six months ended March 31, 1996 from $7.1 million for the six months 
ended March 31, 1995.  The increase in revenues was comprised of a $4.3 
million increase attributable to higher sales volume offset by a $590,000 
decrease attributable to lower average selling prices.  The increase in 
revenues is primarily due to the acquisition of the Company's southern Texas 
facilities on December 11, 1995. The operations of the southern Texas 
facilities provided an additional $4.4 million of revenues, which were 
partially offset by a $694,000 decrease in revenues from the operations of  
the Nevada facility.  The main factors responsible for the decline in 
revenues at the Nevada facility were a decrease in non-ferrous scrap revenues 
of $648,000 and a decrease in paper sales of $467,000, which were partially 
offset by an increase in ferrous revenues of $421,000.

For the six months ended March 31, 1996, ferrous scrap revenues increased $3.7
million, or 109.0%, to $7,100,000 as shipments increased approximately 26,600
tons to 55,500 tons and the average selling price rose approximately $5 per ton
to $123 per ton.  Non-ferrous scrap revenues increased approximately $412,000,
or 14.0%, to $3.4 million as shipments increased 2.1 million pounds to 6.7
million pounds.  The increased non-ferrous scrap sales volume was partially
offset by a $.13 per pound decrease in average non-ferrous selling prices to
$.50 per pound.  Total ferrous and non-ferrous scrap revenues rose to $10.5
million.  Paper sales decreased approximately $467,000, or 66.5%, for the six
months ended March 31, 1996 as average sales prices and volumes declined
relative to the comparable period of 1995.

COST OF SALES.  For the six months ended March 31, 1996, cost of sales increased
$4.1 million to $9.4 million from $5.3 million for the six months ended March
31, 1995, and increased as a percentage of revenues to 86.9% from 74.8%.  This
increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in sales volume of
the Company's newly acquired southern Texas facilities.  Of the $4.1 million
increase in cost of sales, approximately $3.7 million was related to the
acquisition of the southern Texas facilities and $260,000 was related to the
increased volume at the Nevada facility.  Gross profit decreased to $1.4 million
for the six months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.8 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1995.  This decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the
decreases in ferrous and non-ferrous sales prices at the Company's Nevada
facility, without corresponding declines in raw material and direct production
costs.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling and administrative expenses
increased to $1.6 million, or 14.4% of revenues, for the six months ended March
31, 1996 from $911,000, or 12.8% of revenues, for the six months ended March 31,
1995.  Of this increase, $599,000 resulted from additional personnel costs
associated with acquired operations and expenses incurred in connection with the
Company's increase in personnel in anticipation of additional acquisitions. 
Included in this amount was $205,000 of incentive compensation paid to the
Company's Chief Executive Officer upon the consummation of the acquisition of
the Company's southern Texas facilities.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense was $245,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1996 compared to $198,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1995.  Interest
expense increased primarily due to higher average interest rates on the
Company's debt as well as additional debt incurred to finance the purchase of
the southern Texas facilities in December 1995.

BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES.  For the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company
recorded an increase to its net deferred tax asset of $441,000 which resulted in
a net deferred tax benefit of $437,000.  As a result, at March 31, 1996, the
Company has recognized a net deferred tax asset of $1.2 million, as management
has determined that the net operating loss carryforward was more likely than not
to be used in the near future due to the future taxable income to be generated
by the Company's southern Texas facilities.  The net loss before income  taxes
for the six months ended March 31, 1996 increased the net operating loss
carryforward by $339,000 providing approximately $7.2 million of net operating
loss carryforward available through 2009.  No benefit from deferred income taxes
was recognized for the six months ended March 31, 1995.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS, NET OF INCOME TAXES.  For the six months
ended March 31, 1996, the Company had income from continuing operations, net of
income taxes of $50,000, or $.01 per share, compared to $685,000, or $.20 per
share, for the six months ended March 31, 1995.  The principal reasons for this
decrease were the higher cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses
in the 1996 period described above.

NET INCOME.  For the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company had net income
of $98,000, or $.01 per share, compared to net income of $907,000, or $.26 per
share, for the six months ended March 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As the Company's business has grown, overall cash requirements for internal
growth and acquisitions have been met through a combination of private
placements of debt and equity securities, equipment and receivables financing
and cash flow from operations.  Since commencement of its metals recycling
operations in May 1994, the Company has raised net cash proceeds of $6.3 million
through the sale of its equity securities.  Through March 1995, the Company was
also funded in part by $887,000 of borrowings from First Dominion Holdings,
Inc., a company controlled by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
("First Dominion"), all of which has been repaid.  At March 31, 1996, the
Company had $7.3 million of debt outstanding, of which $4.8 million is due in
the next 12 months.

On May 11, 1994, the Company acquired its Nevada facility by purchasing all of
the outstanding common stock of Nevada Recycling, Inc.  As restructured, the
purchase price for the Nevada facility consisted of debt of $5.0 million and the
issuance of 13,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
valued at $1.3 million.  In addition, the Company issued to the sellers a
warrant to acquire 20,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.25
per share.

On June 30, 1995, the Company acquired a 20% interest in a Georgia metals
recycling facility through its investment in The Loef Company ("Loef").  This
investment has been valued at $277,000, the amount of costs incurred by the
Company in pursuing its acquisition of Loef.  The Company's ownership interest
in Loef will be reduced to 15% if the Company does not invest an additional
$200,000 in Loef by June 30, 1996.  At this time, the Company has not determined
whether to make this payment nor has it negotiated an extension of this
deadline.

On December 11, 1995, the Company acquired its southern Texas facilities by
acquiring substantially all of the assets of Anglo Metals, Inc., d/b/a/ Anglo
Iron & Metal, for $6.1 million.  The purchase price was paid as follows:  (i)
$2.1 million in cash;  (ii)  $1.9 million note which is to be paid in ten
monthly installments of $186,500 beginning in February 1996; (iii) a $446,000
secured promissory note bearing interest at 8% and payable in 60 monthly
installments of $9,000; (iv) a $750,000 unsecured promissory note and
non-compete agreement payable in 72 consecutive installments of $10,416; and
(v) 227,693 shares of Common Stock, valued at $925,000.

On April 15, 1996, the Company acquired its Missouri facility by acquiring 
substantially all of the assets of Mid-America Shredding, Inc., d/b/a/ 
Mid-America Shredding, for $1.9 million.  The purchase consideration 
consisted of cash of $660,000, assumed outstanding bank debt of $1.2 million
and a $55,000 note payable over eight months.

For the six months ended March 31, 1996, net cash used by operations was
$748,000.  During this period the Company generated net income of $98,000 and
depreciation and amortization of $479,000, which were partially offset by
deferred income tax of $441,000 and an extraordinary gain of $48,000.  Increases
in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, and current assets amounted
to $1,643,000, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
of $807,000.  Inventories and accounts receivable increases were primarily
related to the acquisition of the Company's southern Texas facilities on
December 11, 1995.

For the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company used net cash in investing
activities of $978,000 compared to $543,000 for the six months ended March 31,
1995.  Such amounts primarily related to acquisition costs and goodwill as well
as additions of capital equipment.

The Company had a positive net worth of approximately $10.9 million at March 31,
1996, compared to $6.5 million at September 30, 1995, and $2.8 million at
September 30, 1994.  This improvement in net worth is due to issuance of $2.3
million (net) of Common Stock during the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the
conversion of $1.1 million of bridge loan debt to equity, and the issuance of
$925,000 of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of the southern
Texas facilities.

Working capital at March 31, 1996 was $105,000 as compared to $376,000 at
September 30, 1995.  As of September 30, 1994, the Company has a working capital
deficit of $4.2 million.  The improvements in working capital from fiscal 1994
to fiscal 1995 reflects the increase in cash provided by a full year in
operations of the Nevada facility, the restructuring of long-term debt and the
additional equity raised from the issuance of Common Stock during fiscal 1995.

INFLATION AND PREVAILING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations.
The Company believes it should be able to implement price increases sufficient
to offset most raw material cost increases resulting from inflation, although
there may be some delay between raw material cost increases and sales price
increases and competitive factors may require the Company to absorb at least a
portion of these cost increases.  Management believes that a sustained ecomonic
slowdown would negatively impact the operations and financial performance of the
Company.
